Overheard

One of the awesome things about shopping local is meeting (and chatting with) the people who get your hard earned dollars! Even better, the money you spend stays in your community and most likely supports other businesses you value in the community.

- Christine Donley, Photographer

From crafters of one-of-a-kind hand- made jewelry to masters of the letterpress, here are the photo-worthy scenes, on trend fashions, and designers to watch from this festive event.

- Nerissa Pacio Itchon, Journalist

We love your markets because the crowds are actually full of real buyers. Whatever you do to turn these people out, keep on doing it.

Urban Air Market has become one of my most profitable sales destinations each year. It attracts a diverse crowd with all kinds of interests and budgets and my lingerie fits perfectly into the mix.

- Catie Neinaber, Professional Stylist

Urban Air Market is important to create a sustainable community model so that the city is able to generate business only through its community.

- Blakely Bass, Residents Apparel Gallery

- Creek Van Houten, Compass Rose Design

This is the best show I've done all year!
